sailingshot's Full Review: Celestron Advanced C8-SGT 11026 (480 x 203mm) Tele...
People who run out and buy these scopes when first released show little experience with the market. ALWAYS wait a year or more to buy. I even apply this rule to digital cameras with a 6 month rule. Wait until bugs are worked out!
This 8 inch entry from Celestron works very well. On our first night out we had the GOTO working with ease, but we're expereinced users of EQ mounts. Some folks may need a few nights to get it right.
Images in the C8 are very good. There's only so much I can add to what's already been written about the classic C8. It's a perfect size for a transportable scope that can also do some nice deep space viewing under dark skies. The EQ mount is stable enough for astrophotography but it's not a pro mount. It requires some finess to get the most out of it and works best when it's tripod legs are retracted.
